Fort PuUski ia the hands of Georgia,,.Gov. Brown’s Goad act. The intelligence from Savannah, published in our yesterday’s issuo loaves no room to doubt that Fort Pulaski is now garrisoned by Georgia troops. This is an important position, and we regard the movement in taking it as the grande}, which has occurred on the theatre of recenteventss The course of the submission press in Georgia, following tho lead of a few of her public men, has without design, created the impression in the North that Georgia would embrace any fate rather than sever her political connection with abolitionists. Her position in tho present crisis, has been looked to with far greater interest than that of any other Southern State, and her past record in favor of the Union has been relied on by the foes of socession and the advocates of co ercion as a basis for tho hope that her Convention would declara for Union and infamy. This hope is now obliterated. Gov. Brown has taken a position in which he will bo triumphantly sus tained by the people of Georgia, and for which he deserves thoir plaudits, lie will probably re ceive censuro from thoso who aro willing to sur render life, liberty and honor for tho boon of dragging out a wretched existenso under the vulgar and degrading bondage of an abolition mob, but the great popular heart of Georgia will cheer him for his prudent foresight and his bold conduct. The act was demanded by tho first and highest law of nature —self-protection. The administration had proven itself to be too vacil lating and too faithless towards South Carolina, for Georgia to ask of it, or roposo confidence in its pledges, Tho President feels under an obli gation to take care of tho United States; Gov. Brown rests under an obligation, equals impera tive to take care of this old Commonwealth, and to see to it that her interests and hor honor re ceive no detriment. His conduct has demon strated that, in its fullest measuro ho appreciates the trust, and Georgians, whether vassal or free, will bestow, without stint, thoir gratitude upon him. But vassals they will never be. Communicated. Messrs. Editors ; If tho citizens of Muscogee have not been misled, our Senator, Col. Holt, ac cepted the nomination for tho Convention, with the view of ascertaining whether he represented tho sentiments of tho people of the county in the Legislature. We have boon led to believe that ho disregarded tho instructions of a large and unanimous public mooting, because he believed that said mooting did not express tho views of a majority of his constituents. All doubts upon the subject must havo been removed by the result on Wednesday, when out of a small vote he was defeated by five hundred majority. We confi dently expect that, after this unmistakable evi dence of public sentiment, tho Colonel will, as an honest unit a modest man, n<*t longer misrepre sent us, but will, in accordance with his uniform propriety of conduct, resign, and let us send sonic one to ttio Senate who will reflect our views. VOTER. Public Dinner Tendered. —Several citizens of Richmond, Virginia, havo invited the South Carolina delegation to tho liouso of Representa tives to a dinner in Richmond in honor of tho position of South Carolina. General McQueen wrote a reply for himself and two of his col leagues, giving the reasons why tho invitation could not be accepted, and closed thus : “We, of South Carolina, hope soon to greet you in a Southern Confederacy, where white men shall rule our destinies, and from which we may transmit to our posterity the rights, privileges and honor left us by our ancestors.” Contention of South Carolina. The President read tho following communica tion : To tho Honorable the President and Members of tho Convention of the Independent State of South Carolina: Gentlemen : I am to-night informed that a res olution was this day adopted, inviting me to a seat on the floor of your Convention. For the complimont thus paid my State, in my person, please accept my grateful acknowledgements. I regret that engagements elsewhere imperatively forbid the erjojment of your pro tiered courtesy. Intelligence received to-night makes “assur ance doubly sure” that Alabama stands by the side of South Carolina, prepared to ehare with her a common destiny. Information obtained on diligent inquiry in the last few days justifies me in saying that tho gal lant sons of North Carolina and Virginia are now ready to rally around the standard of South ern rights and honor, which you have so glori ously reared, and that those two States will also be members, in all probability, of the groat South ern Confederacy by the 4th of next March. The othor slave States must sooner or later take tho same courso, or be involved in inevitable ruin.— To tho bold, deliberate and decisive action of your body are the pooplo of the South indebted for the great movement which must end in tho vindica tion of their rights—and tho future historian must award to South Carolina the honor of lead ership in carrying out the measures destined to release them from tho wrongs and oppressions under which they havo so long and so patiently suffered. 1. W. GARROTT Charleston, Dec. 20, ISBO. Mr. lthett moved to print tho communication in the Journal of to day’s proceedings. Agreed to. From the Savannah Republican. Occupation of Forf Pulaski. Out city for some days past has been the the atre of great and continuous excitement. The military movements of Major Anderson in the Forts near Charleston, the changes and rumors of changes in the Cabinet at Washington conse quent thereon, tho conrse of policy indicated by tho President in the appointment of Mr. Holt to tho Secretaryship of War—all have furnished topics of very serious discussion, and hare crea ted impulses to action in the bosoms of our peo- i pie, almost irresistible. There can be no question that, bad not the telegraphic wire brought rapid intelligence of the denial by the President that the movements of Maj. Anderson had been made in accordance with directions from head quarters, the forts in the vicinity of Savannah would have been seiz ed by a spontaneous movement of our people, as against Federal troops, to the very last extrem ity.) Nothing can be more abhorrent to the hearts of our people, nothing more shocking to their sense of justice, nothing more indicative to them of a determination on tho part of of Federal pow er to grind them down into the dust by any and all agencies, then the idea of perverting for tifications erected upon soil ceded by the sover eign State of Georgia to the General Government for a specific purpose, that purpose being the protection of her material interests against for eign aggression, into instruments of police co ercion, to subject her people to a rule which thoy may of right repudiate. Whan, therefore, by the course pursued by the General Government towards South Carolina culminating in the forced withdrawal of Govern or Floyd, known to be opposed to the principle of coercion, from the War ‘Department,: and the appointment of Mr. Holt, equally well under stood to be r xvorablo to a ooercive policy, the future action of the United States Govcrment had been clearly foreshadowed, publio excite ment was once again aroused to a very high point, and but for the anticipated arrival of Gov ernor Brown in our city, an irregular movement Oi tfie people would have been inevitable. Wo are now highly gratified to state, that the Governor has determined to take possession of the fortifications commanding our river and harbor. The wisdom of this policy seems to us beyond all question. In view of all our sur rounding circumstances, the Federal Govern ment has forced it upon him, leaving him no other course to pursue. However much all may regret the complication created by the ill-advised movement of Major Anderson, nevertheless the speedy withdrawal of the troops from Fort Sumter might have meas urably relieved it, and given tranquility to the Southern mind. Assuredly there had been nothing precipitate, nothing savoring of impatience, in the action of South Carolina—on the contrary, while in her view of existing relations, it had become obliga tory upon the United States Government to withdraw, at the earliest practicable moment, Federal troops from her soil, yet she had provok ed no hostilo demonstrations against her, of a military character. That demonstration has been made. It has not been repudiated; so far from it, tho result show3 that after long delibera tion, it has been affirmed, and the policy of co ercion, through the agency, not only of Federal troops, but of fortifications ceded by sovereign States, for widely other purposes, has been clearly adopted, and men placed in power to car ry it into execution. The Federal Government has thus, by its own acts, placed us at the turning point of the pres ent political crisis. The right of secession on the part of a State, as against tho right of coercion on tho part of the United States Government, is the issuo unnecessarily and aggressively precipi tated upon tho South. Nothing, therefore, remained for our Governor to do, save to guard, so far as might lie in his power, against the possibility of the same results in tho future, as regards Georgia, which have been developed in the pa3t, as regards South Carolina. Until the Convention shall assemble, which is to decide upon the practical question of socession, we understand it to be his intention to hold Fort I’ulaski, not in any wiso to provoke attack from tho Federal Government, but to guard against the loss of life which may bo necessary to its ro capturo, in case the same highly reprehensible policy should be puisued towards Georgia, which has already been pursued towards South Caro lina. There is no division of opinion in our com munity as to tho wisdom of his policy. Ho will bo sustained enthusiastically to the fullest extent, at all hazard and any sacrifice. Sumner and Hickman Denounce Compro mise—Hon. Cnarles Sumner,Massachusetts, was serenaded in Philadelphia on Wednesday eve . ning after delivering a lecture. He responded by declaring that the last election decided that the Territories should bo forever free. He was op posed to making any moro compromises; and he thought the people were also. All that is needed now, is firmness and prudence; be thought' the party would iu future show the same firmness as they had at the ballot-dox [Applause] lion John Hickman also spoke as follows: I never was a compromise man, nor am I one now. [Applause.] It is no use for tho north to compromise; it is not safe. There is an eternal antagonism between freedom and slavery, and it must be met now, and the interest of the white men should not be forgotten, so far as his vote is concerned. I want to know if the Gov ernment is worth anything. Ido not think my people want mo to compromise their interests, and if they do I will not do it. [Cries of ‘good.’] Every Compromise that has been made has been violated by the South. There is an eternal antagonism that must bo settled, and we may as well have it settled now as at any other time.— [Applause.] Capt. Phelps, of the United States army, fol lowed in somo remarks. He announced his wil lingness to enrol a regiment of volunteers in Chester county, Pa. if the peoplo wished it, ,to he placed at the disposition of the sovereign of the United States, tor the preservation of tho Union and the Constitution, and he cared not whether it jwas James Buchanan or Abraham Lincoln. Interesting concerning Fort Sumter.— The following from tho Charleston Mercury will be interesting to «ur readers. Tho force now remaining in Fort Sumter con sists of about one hundred and thirty men, fifty of whom are labors, and the rest troops belong ing to the artillery branch of the Unitod States service. These latter aro sufficient to man about one half the guns of tho fort, supposing the guns were all mounted. Fortunately, however, this is far from being the case. Out |of seventy-five pieces of heavy ordnance now in the fort only eleven arc fully mounted. These arc all case mate guns iu the lower tier, and include the , nineguns of that face of tho fortress fronting towards Sullivan’s island. Two more of these easemato guns were nearly mounted on Friday evening, but the work of getting them in posi tion is necessarily slow and tedious, and with tho force now at work, it is impossible to mount more than three guns per day at the utmost. — The heaviest guns, too, which are the ten inch Columbiads, have yet to bo mounted. One of the casemate guns at one of the angles of the wall has been placed imposition so as to cover Castle Pinckney. The garrison were on Friday evening getting ready to mount some of the casemate guns on the south eido of the walls. Besides these heavy pieces, four of the lighter barbette guns aro mounted upon the ramparts, pointing towards Morris’ Island. These are so arranged upon pivot carriages as tc sweep round the whole horizon. Tho magazine of the for tress is well stocked with an immense quantity of grape, canister and shells, and about seven hundred barrels of powder. All the small arms and stores of Fort Moultrie have been transferred with the garrison, and there is suffi cient accumulation of provisions to last, in c ase of necessity for six months at least. Four large cisterns contain an ample supply of fresh wa ter, but it is now understood that Fort Sumter has no fuel to spare. The rumor current in*the city that a number of the guns in Fort Sumter, which are not yet mounted, had been spiked by the Southern workmen, is without foundation. LATER FROM EUROPE. ! ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP AUSTRALASIAN. New York, Jan. 3. —The steamship Austral asian with Liverpool dates to the 22d ult. arrived here to-day. COMMERCIAL. Liverpool Cotton Market. —Sales of cotton to day (22d) 12,000 bales. The market was firm. Breadstuffs firm and advancing. Corn ad vancing. Mixed at 395. Consols were quoted at 92%. GENERAL NEWS. Tho Australasian brought seven hundred and ; fifty thousand dellars in specie. The Bullion in the Bank of England had largely decreased. Money was more stringent. Paris Bourse depressed. The Pekin Treaty has been confirmed. China pays Franee sixty million francs. TLo Chris tian Churches are to be restored. The cross has been restored to tho Cathedral at Pekin, and its restoration was celebrated by a Te Benin. The Paris Constitutionel says that France will never suffer tho return to offensive policy by Austria in Lombardy. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Jan. 3. Senate —In the Senate, Mr. Baker, of Oregon concluded his speech. Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, then addressed tho Senate on Powell’s resolutions. No new points were made in the speech. House —ln the House, the Judiciary Commit tee reported a bill investing the President with additional powers to collect the revenue. The result was a parliamenrary war, after which it was made the special order of tho day for next Tuesday. Both Houses then adjourned until Monday. Washington; Jan. 3. It ia stated upon reliable authority that tho President considered tho communication from the Commissioners from South Carolina insolent, and returned it, and that tho Commissioners started for homo this morning. FLORIDA NEWS. Tallahassee, Jan. 2.—A large number of the delegates to the Convention havo arrived. It is probable that Judgo McGehee, of Madi son, will bo elected Paesident of Convention; then resolutions will be adopted declaring the right and the determination of Florida to secede. Tho Convention will deliberately determine the terms of tho ordinance of secession. January 3.—The Convention met at noon to day, and was opened with prayer by Bishop Rut ledge. Col. Pelot was chosen temporary choir man. The counties were then callod and delegates enrolled their names. There is a3 yet no permanent organization, nor has any committee been appointed for that purpose. The Convontion then adjourned until Satur day. January 3.—Judgo Mclntosh has resigned his office as Judge of the Unitad States Circuit Court in Florida. [Springfield Correspondence N. Y. Times.] Lincolu’s Views ♦ I cannot resist the conviction that the passage of the secession ordinance by tho South Carolina Convention has, instead of intimidating the Pres ident elect, only made him firmer and more deci ded in his views on the reckless and unjustifia ble attempt to break up the Union. lie will not swerve from the conscientious and rigorous ful fillmont of what he considers his' constitutional obligations, lest certain consequences might oc cur. He will not, like his predecessor, give way to unmanly terror and childish despair, should events demand prompt and vigorous action.— And that he will be called upon to strike, I be lieve, appears from hour to hour more certain to him. There aro so many similarities and identities between the ideas embodied in oenatcr Wade’s last speech and thoso freque. .1/ expressed by Lincoln, that I am almost inclined to think that old Ben spoke by inspiration. I do not think tho term “organ,” in its usual interpretation, properly indicates the relations of the Daily State Journal of this place to the Pres ident elect. It should not be looked upon as a trumpet by dint of which Mr. Lincoln daily pro claims all his ideas, opinions, plans, Ac., Ac., to the general public. Nor does he solicit or direct the editor to embody certain views in certain arti cles on certain occasions. But, on the other hand, it would be absurd to presume that a paper devo ted for many years to the futherance of his polit ical fortunes, recognized as tho central organ of the Republican party of his own State, owned and edited by his kinsman, with whom his intercourse is most constant and intimate, should say aught contrary to his sentiments. The position of the New York Tribune, rela tive to the right to secede, does not find much fa vor with the Republicans cut hero. It is uni versally pronounced untenable. lam all but cer tain that Mr. Lincoln himself pronounces it dan gerous and illogical. It is stated that Mr. T incola is daily receiving large numbers of letters from prominent men of all tho free States urging him to stand squarely and firmly on tho Chicago platform, and not budge an inch. THE RAIN. Into the dusty city comes tho rain— .* The pure, the beautiful, the pearly shower; The dusty street is cool and smiles again, And freshness comes to many a drooping flower. Upon the country comes the rain : Generous it falls, a blessing from tho Giver; The little rills will form their golden ehain, And chase their songs into the flowing river. Happy to childhood comes the rain, Pure as its innocence, bright as its gleo, Touches the flowers with its light brush again, Brightens their colors with its witchery. Unto tho mourner comes the rate; It is the pearly tears by nature given ; Its pattings siDg a gentle, soothing strain ; It tells of the departed and of heaven. Unto the sick man comes tho rain, Moist to her brow and cooling to his fever, Blunts the sharp edge oftnany a crushing pain, Whispers of hope, and of a bright forever. Come to my weary heart, sweet rain ! With thy cool drops wash care away, And let tho rainbow of bright hope again Follow thy shower with sunbeams’ cheering ray. Tell me, sweet rain, of friendships bright as shower ; Tho’ they have past they yet are dear to me ; As perfumes sweeter come from bruised flowers, And olden harps yield sweeter minstrelsy. C. J. H.
